Multiplying Small Farms.

According to official data the in crease in the number of farms i'll United States during the past six years have been about one million, and the total number at present Is estimated at five million. Most of the increase has resulted from dl. visions of large estates in the South. This has been going on ever since the war. In South Car olina, for example, the average size of farms in 1860 was 4SS acres and in 1880 only 143 acres. The average farm In Texas in 1860 con taiued 591 acres, and in lSS0i IL had been reduced in size to POS acres. The same tendency is noticed, al though to a less degree, in NeN York and Pennsylvania. In these States twenty seven years ago farms contained on the average 106 and l09 acres respectively. In 1880 their average size was 96 and 90 acres. Such increase really means increase in aggregate wealth. It means increase in la' bor, which is wealth, and it means independence and self.reliance.- Dixie Farmer.

here demanded will prove to be the scientific solution of the tem. perance question. Dr. Crosby cs. tin,atcs that the saloons of Now York sell *3O,OOO.OOO worth of whiskey annually, half of which is consumed by the 10000 labOrers, this is A1OO for each laborer. A New york paper puts the cOnsump' ton of beer daily in that city, at 12,OOO,OOO glasses. At three cents a glass, this beer bill is S36O, GOO. Add half of this to the labor CTS and you have $lSO,W0. rxpen- ,lrd daily. fur an n,,nrrdeh luxury, l, that is harmful in all respects and canscs more misery and poverty than bad laws, and everything else combined. Some of the organiza- lions that the mongrel union labor party is composed of, meet,in their beer shops, or have their beer casks in their places of meeting. Take for instance Chicago or New York candidates for office, Qegis. tors not excepted) leave money at saloons to be used in treating men so as to influence them in their ia. vor. Whiskey and beer are cor. rupting legislation hundred fold more than Jay Gould and other capitalists combined. That accu. mulated capital has been a bless tug, cannot be successfully denied; that We need strong laws to pre- vent capital from encrOac hing on labor, is equally true; but to get the men into our legislatures that will make such laws, the voting population must first raise their standard of morality and intelli. gence. When such renegades as Jessie Harper hollow poverty, starvation, bad laws, capital op. pressing labor, and so on, let us be like the man who was kicked by his jack, consider the source it came from. will assert, without fear of successful contradiction, that the people of the United States are better governed, better fed and more progressive generally, than any other country of equal population, besides paying trib. ute of 1900, 100000, to king alc"- hol, annually.

 Grass when cut before it is ln blossom is nutritious, and dries out greatly in making hay. When cut in full blossom, or when just out of blossom, It is in full flavor, in it's highest degres of nutritious value, and loses far less in dying When cut after the seed has form. ed, much of the foliage will have turned brown and dried, the stems will be woody, and, though 1t dries with comparatively little loss of weight, yet it is far less relished by cattle, and is less nutritious, while in very few grasses does the seed make good the damage to the rest of the plant. The same general principles apply to clover and oth CT forage crops. Thus corn fol ensoiling or for drying for coarse fodder should be cut np after the ears are well formed, and before they are fully ripe, for then the stalk is richer in sugar, has more foliage. and less woody fiber American Agriculturist for Sep. tember.

Sensible and to tho Point.

The following, adopted by the national farmers convention, re- gently held in Atlanta, Ga, are we'll worth republishing:
 "Whereas. If the farmers of the south ever secure relief from un. just taxation by tariffs or other. wise, they must use the most DO. tent agencies of our age and cOun. try-the organized labor ballot; and
 Whereas. While such local or ganizatiOns as the Grange, the Ag- ricultural Wheel and the Farmers Alliance and kindred Organiza. tions, are of the highest impOr. tauce as educators of the farmers up to an appreciation of their true interests, yet they will be as pow. erless as mere guerrillas to secure the deserved results unless all are united in one grand army of vOt- CTS, having common interest cast ing their ballots and their intiu. ence for a common end; and
 Whereas, The history of this re. public has demonstrated the fact that there have, from it's founda. ton, always been and always will be two great. thoroughly organized armies, fighting for diametrically opposite principles of ad,ninistra' tion, and that all attempts to slough off struggling squads of gnerrillas under the name of third parties, have ever proven not only failures but farces, and have set back rath. CT than forwarded the causes they have espoused; Therefore,
 Resolved, That it is the deliber. ate sense of this convention that the farmers ofthe South eau obtain the necessary legislation only through the instrumentality of their respective parties, already organ. ized and equipped and in the field, and they should, with united and organized ballots, so control those parties as to make them subservi. ent to their will"
 The above action followed a speech delivered in support of the view that the farmers should start q political party of their own.
 There is no more need of pure ly farmers political party than of a purely Baptist, Presbyterian or Methodist political party. This all persons, except the farmers who farm with their mOuts, understand; and it is this fact that distresses the little politician, who, having "played out" in the old political parties, are seeking soft places in new organizations. .-Exchange.

Monday evening. June 27. Held by
the Eaemy, VIM. Gillett's highly sue
cessful American play, which is at pres.
ent playing to such phenomenal bust
ness at the Baldwin Theater, San Fran.
cisco, where it has already entered into
its fourth week and its receipts ex.
ceeded anything ever known in that
theater, will be presented for the first
time here, at the Grand Opera House,
and in consequence of the many pre-
parations needed Manager Wyatt has
decided to keep the theater closed this
week, so as to be able to give an exact
production of the play, as is now being
given at the Baldwin. Held By the
Enemy is credited by the Eastern and
San Francisco press as being the best
war drama ever produced in America.
1t is not a melodrama but its plot
evolves itself in the midst of war scenes
and its characters are connected with
the war.
When Mr.. Gillette produced his piece
last summer at Mr.. A. M. Palmer's
Madison Square Theater, it made an
unqualified hit and ran at that theater
the entire preliminary season of 1856. A
drama, however, may be highly
praised in New York and still
make a failure. After the New
York season it was taken to Boston
where for seventeen weeks it crowded
the Boston Museum. The play has made
a genuine success everywhere. When
taken to London much interest was
manifested by the prominent critics and
managers of this country as to how it
would be received, and it has proven as
great a success there at the Princess
theater, where it has already been played
for over five months, as in this country.
Gillettes Held by the Enemy has made a
genuine success, and is one of those rare
pieces about which the critics were
unanimous, and the public agreed with
them. Those who had judged the author
by his other works were surprised to find
that he had such strong dramatic tai.
ent, and especially as a war play is the
most risky of all. The success of the
new piece passed all through the coun.
try, where it has done tremendous
business. All that is claimed in advance
for it is that it is simple, straightfor.
ward, powerful play. The dialogue is
| pithy and meanipgful; the characters
are said to be we'll contrasted and inter.
esting, and it has four situations of great
originality and thrilling effect. The
scenery, which was especially painte d
for the Baldwin theater production, will
be brought here, and it is said to be ex.
ceedingly handsome. The company has
been conceded by the San Francisco
press as being the strongest ever seen in
that city. The sale of seats commences
next Thursday and the usual prices only
will be asked.

Parlor, No. As, was held last Thur sday
evening. After the initiation of fifteen
candidates, the question of assisting in
the Fourth of July parade was dis.
cussed, and it was decided to parade,
the members all becoming enthusiastic
over the idea, and will no doubt present
a creditable appearance. 1t has been
suggested that if arrangements can be
satisfactorily made to represent the
Great Seal of the State OF California,
with a young lady as the goddess
Minerva, a real live grizzly crouching at
her feet, o miner at her side, with his
pan and rocker made of flowers, thrown
at his feet, punches of grape vines, en-
blematic of the peculiar characteristics
of the country, the Car to be drawn by
sturdy Native Sons, with o white
haired pioneer on the drivers seat, and
following the car the Natives, in their
regulation hat and many-colored re.
galias. This feature. if carried out,
will prove to be one scf the best of the
parade.

Last Week.


The following from the Domiaion Odd
Felio,o, on the entertainment of strangers,
applies to all lodges, and should be care
fully read: Whether or not lodge in
welcoming and entertaining a stranger
ever has the good fortune that befell the
patriarch of old, and has found itself
entertaining an angel, is uncertain.
But none the less is it the imperative
duty of the lodge as a body, and OF the
members individually, to give a hearty
welcome to every strange brother who
finds his way into the room.
This duty is often neglected entirely
or only partially performed. A strange
brother enters the lodge, he is men,
ber of the same jurisdiction, no special
formalities are necessary to obtain ad-
inittance beyond those required from
the members of the lodge, he sits down
in a side seat, no one notices him, the
work is finished, and the lodge closes:
but no one has exchanged a word with
him, and he passes out from among
those who profess to be his brethren as
great stranger as when he entered the
room. 1t is not always as bad as this;
sometimes the stranger is introduced by
a committee, and sometimes he is called
on by the presiding officer to make a
speech, and if ne is not accustomed to
getting up and talking he would prob
ably prefer that he should be allowed
to sit unnoticed.
The welcome that should be given to
the stranger is not simply the official
welcome of the noble grand, though, of
course, that is something. 1t is the
welcome of the members around the
room, the kindly greeting, the cheerful
word, the cordial hand. d.grasp. 1t is not
alone the welcome which he receives in
the lodge room; it is the welcome that
goes with him after lodge closes; that
accompanies him to his stopping place;
that tenders sincere offers OF aid; and
help and countenance; that causes him
to feel himself among friends and broth
ers.,
When an Odd Fellow visits strange
city or town, where he has no personal
friends. where should he seek sympathy,
and encouragement, and welcome, If not

lowship means anything more than mu-
